In short

ISO 22000 certification in Medan at a glance

A biscuit plant can pass an inspection and still lack a management system, the difference is whether food safety survives staff turnover. Medan's estate hosts candy, cocoa, biscuit, seafood and feed makers, and palm-oil processors supply ingredients to food customers, so the need for a system that works every day is real. ISO 22000 combines HACCP principles with management system disciplines: leadership commitment, interactive communication along the food chain, prerequisite programmes, hazard analysis, operational controls, traceability, emergency preparedness, internal audit and improvement. Sterling serves Medan from its Jakarta office, builds the system with your quality team using your own process flows, and prepares the audit by an accredited certification body.

ISO 22000 in Medan: questions clients ask

Is ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000 the better choice for a Medan producer?

It depends on the buyer. ISO 22000 is a standalone management system standard, while FSSC 22000 adds sector prerequisite programmes and extra requirements to it. If your main customers accept ISO 22000, it is the lighter route; if a retailer insists on a recognised scheme, go straight to FSSC 22000.

How does ISO 22000 fit with HACCP for a biscuit or cocoa plant?

It builds the HACCP principles into a management system with leadership, planning, communication, internal audit and improvement. A plant that already has a working HACCP plan has a head start, since the hazard analysis and control measures carry over and the gaps are mostly in management and records.
